  • the present invention relates to a process of low clamping pressure injection molding for producing injection-molded plastic products with high dimensional accuracy under a lower molding pressure.
  • a compensation of the size reduction incidental to the cooling of the molded article should be incorporated.
  • an imposition of an effective pressure onto the molten resin in the mold cavity becomes hindered when the gate is clogged or sealed, whereby the cavity internal pressure will then be settled in the unbalanced state as mentioned above and the molded resin will be cured as such upon cooling.
  • the unbalance of the internal pressure is frozen in the molded article as an internal stress. This may cause defective dimensional stability and occurrence of distortion and sink mark. A waste of useless energy due to occurrence of pressure drop etc. may also be taken into account of.
  • Metal molds made of ZAS (a zinc alloy) enployed conventionally for molds for limited production of moldings are apt to be subjected to deformation by internal pressure, formation of flashes in the molded articles due to opening or spacing between the parting faces, damages of the mold and decreased working life, though they are available at a price about half as high as that of steel mold (made of, for example, S55C or so on). If such deformation of the mold would be able to be limited to an extent comparable to that expected for carbon steel mold, a mass production of moldings using ZAS mold could be realized.

  • a final molding pressure lower than 20 MPa is attainable.
  • the items 1 and 3 correspond both to a resin temperature elevation effect due to the heat generation from shearing energy upon passing the molten resin through the gate. While the above experiments were carried out by throttling the gate of the mold, it is evident that the same effects can be attained by throttling the nozzle. Here also, it is possible to reduce the molding pressure from 50 MPa to 20 MPa.
  • a final specific volume of 1.0 cm3/g can be attained even by employing a low molding pressure of, for example, 10 MPa, by pressing the injection molded heat resistant ABS resin at a thermal deformation temperature of 110°C , since an effective pressure can be imposed onto the molded resin at temperatures up to a temperature near the thermal deformation point.

  • the cavity entrance pressure can considerably be reduced, whereby a load-time relationship as shown in Fig. 5 was able to attain. Comparing the pressure drop ⁇ p2 inside the cavity in this embidiment with ⁇ p1 of the conventional process, it is seen that a considerable decrease in the pressure drop is achieved by the present invention due to the reduction in the viscosity of the molten resin. In addition, the unbalance of the cavity entrance pressure with the cavity terminal end pressure is also eliminated almost completely.
  • a large reduction of the molding pressure for example, from 50 MPa to 17 MPa, namely below 20 MPa, by incorporating a mold cavity thickness increasing effect by injecting, in the first step, the molten resin into the mold cavity held at a preset cavity space including the post-­compression margin to be compensated afterwards in the second step and a resin temperature increasing effect due to a heat generation by shearing energy caused by throttling of the injection nozzle or of the resin flow path, due to employment of a high temperature plasicizing and due to employment of a high-speed injection.
  • a molded article having higher dimensional stability can be obtained even under a lower compressive pressure of, for example, 10 MPa.
  • a considerably lower clamping force as compared with the conventional practice can be employed.
